Brigetta Barrett, who soon will begin her senior year at the University of Arizona, is bringing back a silver medal from London.

Barrett set a personal record with a jump of 2.03 meters (6 feet, 8 inches), which put her among the final three competitors at the Olympic women’s high jump on Saturday. She missed her three attempts at 2.05 (6-8.75), but won silver based on fewer misses.

Russian Anna Chicerova cleared 2.05M to win gold.

No American had won a medal in the women’s high jump since Louise Ritter took gold in the 1988 Seoul Games.

“What I saw of her hips at 2.04m at the Olympic Trials, I looked up at Sheldon Blockburger, her coach, and I said, ‘She’s the next world record holder,’” Stones said. “I believe that to my core. If she can stay healthy and she stays in that environment, she is the next 2.10m high jumper.”
